Here's how the logic that implements the cheat detector looks in Ghidra (I've added labels). The counter variable uses the same memory address as the main menu cheat (C, A, Left, Right, B). xitter.cf/memory_fallen/status/2…

Treasure founder Masato Maegawa once recalled putting a code that spells "baka" into *McDonald's Treasureland Adventure* after getting frustrating feedback. It's not in the final game, but I found it in *Dynamite Headdy*! B-A-C-A-↓ makes the Sega logo fall with a boom sound.

A new secret has been found in Dynamite Headdy! The B-A-C-A code that Maegawa previously mentioned is actually in Dynamite Headdy, not McDonald's TLA. @TreasureCoLtd これ、何か覚えていますか？

Did Maegawa misremember which game he put the “baka” code in? Or did Headdy inherit from an earlier build of the Treasureland? I think he misremembered. The code isn't in any version of Treasureland. It's not in the 4/94 build of Headdy, but is introduced in the 6/14/94 build.

Fumika Suzuki's sizzle reel is included because she is the lead voice actress in the Japanese version of the game. Disappointingly, she is not the decorated Dr. Fumika Suzuki, professor at the International Center for Elementary Particle Physics. xitter.cf/memory_fallen/status/2…
